APPARATUS FOR LIGHTING, HEATING, AND COOKING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 571,014, dated November10, 1896. Application filed March 23, 1895. Serial No. 542,920. (Nomodel.) Patented in Canada February 21, 1895, No. 48,271.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES GRAY PENNY- CUIOK, of the city of Toronto, inthe county of York, and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented acertain new and Improved Apparatus for Lighting. Heating, and Cooking,(for which Letters Patent have been granted in Canada, No. 48,271, datedFebruary 21, 1895,) of which the following is a speci fication.

The object of my invention is to devise an effectual apparatus forlighting, heating, and cooking; and it consists,essentially,of a lampconstructed as hereinafter described, pro- Vided with a concave glassforming half the chimney, over which is supported a waterchamber havinga concave funnel-shaped flue extending through it which forms the upperhalf of the lamp-chimney, of a removable cover placed over the saidwater-chamber to form a cooking-chamber, and in such other details ofconstruction as are hereinafter specifically set forth and thendefinitely claimed.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a sectionthrough cab in Fig. 1.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding partsin the different figures.

In Fig. l A is the lamp-bowl, having a series of holes a pierced throughthe top thereof close to the burner B. O is a collar secured to the bowlbelow the said holes.

The burner 13 is of ordinary construction and is provided with the usualperforated plate D. It is, however, provided with a supplemental plateE, secured within the cap F, close to the upper edge of the wick-tube G.This plate is either perforated or else a space is left between it andthe tube for the passage of air.

II is a glass forming the lower half of the lamp-chimney and set uponthe burner in the usual way.

I is a water-chamber having a concave funnel-shaped flue J extendingthrough it. The water-chamber has a flange 1), whereby it may be fittedto the glass H, enabling the flue J to form the upper half of thelamp-chimney, thus providing the proper draft for the lamp. The upperend of the funnel-shaped flue J projects through the upper side of thewaterchamber I and is covered with a deflector K, which is provided witha number of holes 0. The hot air escaping from the flue is thus spreadlaterally instead of being permitted to ascend directly upward. Thisdeflector might of course be constructed in many other different ways.

L is a cover resting on top of the waterchamber I, on which it is heldin position by the flange d. This cover is preferably,though notnecessarily, dome-shaped at the top and is provided with a suitable knobor handle M.

N are a series of holes formed in this cover near its lower edge toprovide an exit for the heated air rising from the lamp.

O are supplemental flues formed by tubes extending through the waterchamber I from the flue J to the chamber formed by the coverv L.

P are a series of water-tubes connected, as shown, to the water-chamberI, close to the bottom thereof. These tubes extend a short distancevertically and are then turned downward and connected with thewater-chamber I at or near its upper surface.

Q is a water-inlet located at the top of one of the water-tubes.

R is a water-tap located in the same or any other tube, preferably at apoint not much below the upper surface of the water-chamber I, so as toavoid any danger from totally emptyin g the water-chamber and thusexposing the joints and connections to a degree of heat likely to injurethem. Each tube is preferably provided with a small steam and air exit Sat its upper end.

T is a ring on which the apparatus rests. This ring is supported on legsU, which thus relieve the lamp-burner of the weight of the apparatus.

The operation of my device is briefly as follows: Before the lamp islighted Water is poured in through the inlet Q, so as to fill both thewater-chamber I and the tubes P. The lamp may then be lighted and givessufficient light for all ordinary purposes. At thesame time the water isgradually heated and may be used for culinary purposes. If

the hot water is not withdrawn, but is allowed to remain in theapparatus, the water-tubes form an efficient radiator for impartingwarmth to the apartment.

If it is desired to use the apparatus for cooking purposes, the cover Lis removed and the articles to be cooked are placed in a series of jarsor vessels around the deflector K. If any roast is to be cooked, it isplaced in a pan on top of the jars or vessels containing the otherarticles being cooked. Then when the cover is replaced the heated airfrom the lamp is deflected between the jars or vessels in the apparatus,and ascends to the top of the cover L. Thence it is deflected and passesdown around the sides of the said cover and out through the holes N. Inthis way the heat from the lamp is very effectually utilized, and as,owing to the size of the lamp-flame, the process is comparatively slowthe articles cooked retain their full flavor and are renderedexceedingly tender.

The peculiar construction of thelamp bowl and burner, which makes theapparatus very cleanly and free from objectionable smell, must bebriefly referred to.

All lamps are subject to what is known as sweating, that is, more oil isdrawn up by the wick than is consumed, and trickles down over the burneronto the bowl, making the same disagreeable to handle. In order toprevent this oil from spreading over the bowl, I provide the collar O,which thus catches this oil and returns it to the bowl of the lampthrough the holes a.

.All oil, when used for lighting and heating purposes, gives off vaporsfrom its surface, especially if somewhat heated. The holes a permit ofthe exit of these vapors, which are directed by the collar 0 into theburner, where they miX with the air used in the process of combustion,and are consumed without causing either smell or danger of explosion.The plate E prevents any such vapors from passing the lamp-flame withoutbeing properly consumed.

If it is desired to produce the apparatus at less expense, thewater-tubes P may be dispensed with and the water inlet and tapconnected directly to the Water-chamber I. From this description it willbe seen that I have provided a simple, cleanly, and efficient apparatusfor either lighting, heating, or cooking.

I am aware that it is old to construct lampstoves with a water-spaceover the lamp and have a tapering flue therein through which the heatfrom the lamp is forced to pass, and hence do not attempt to claim suchas. new; but so far as known to me it is new to form a dome-shapedopening through said waterspace, which I regard as a very importantfeature, inasmuch as it provides a very large space against which theheated air from the lamp strikes, and the water in the water-space isthus heated much more quickly than in the construction just described asold.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In an apparatus of the classspecified, a

a hot-air chamber above said water-chamber arranged to receive articlesto be heated and having communication with said domeshaped opening inthe water-chamber, and openings near the lower end of said hot-airchamber, whereby the light emanates from the flat transparent part ofthe chimney and the direct heat of the lamp acts directly 011 saiddome-shaped opening, heating the water in the water-chamber, and thenpasses into said hot-air chamber and out of the openings near the bottomthereof, substantially as described.

2. In an apparatus of the class described, a water-chamber, a coverresting on said chamber and forming a hot-air chamber arranged toreceive articles to be heated, the said Waterchamber having adome-shaped flue therein forming the top of the lamp-chimney andreceiving heat directly from the lamp-burner, and a deflector in saidhot-air chamber forming a continuation of said dome-shaped flue andarranged to support a vessel to be heated, and openings in the side ofsaid deflector arranged to radially deflect the heated air,substantially as described.

3. In an apparatus of the class specified, the combination of thewater-chamber I, having a funnel-shaped flue J, extending through it;the deflector K; the water-tubes P; the water-inlet Q; the tap R, andthe cover L, held in place by the flange d, and provided with holes N,substantially as and for the purpose specified.

4. In an apparatus of the class specified, the combination of thewater-chamber I, having a funnel-shaped flue J, extending through it;the deflector K; flues O; the water-tubes P; the water-inlet Q; the tapR, and the cover L, provided with holes N, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

5. A combined water-heating, cooking and lighting apparatus, comprisinga lamp,a chimney having its lower part transparent, a water-heaterhaving a central dome-shaped por tion forming the upper section of thechimney and receiving heat directly from the lampburner, acooking-chamber above the waterheater having apertures near its bottomfor the escape of the waste heat, and a cover for the cooking-chamber tohold the heat in the upper part for cooking purposes, substantially asdescribed.
